FRANCE AND GERM ANY.

The seizure of Il French commissary by
the Germans is an apparently trivial incl
dent on the face Of it, yet it bears more
serious aspect than the surface indicates.
Such an incident on this side of the water
would have been trifle Mexico or Canada
might seize an American citizen in just the
same way without anybody having the
least apprehension of war. Some red
tape correspondence would probably pass
beteen the governments. the prisoner would
be released and that would be tine end of
the matter. Or if France had seized q GEL
man citizen there would not have been the
same cause for anticipating trouble as now
exists. Germany has no special desire to pro-
woke France into war. But France, on the
contrary, has keen anxiety to pick quar-
rel with Germany. 1t is. therefore, not at
all probable that the French government
will go out of its way to demand apologies
from Germany for this outrage. In fact,
France does not want Germany to apollo
gze. The French people are only too glad
of any sort of provocation to go to war with
Germany. They want chance to recover
Alsace and Lorraine, and will be only too
grateful to Germany for having given the
opportunity. If there isn't war between
the two countries in less than three months
it will be because the French have lost their
former military ardor.

THE GRAPHOPHONE.

The vocation of the private secretary is
drawing to an end. An inventor has per-
fected machine by which every man can be
his own amanueSis. The inventors name
is FAINTER, who has been associated with
Prof. GRAHAM, of Bell Telephone noto-
riety, and his invention is an improvement
upon, or rather continuation of EDIsoN's
monograph. He took up the phonograph
at the point where EDISON left of, and de-
veloped it into the graphophone. This in
trumont is 4 machine which records
conversation upon thin sheets of wax in the
shape of tube placed on a cylinder. One
OF these little tubes will hold 1000 words.
When man wants to write letter all he
has to do is to sit down before the graphic
phone and talk right into it. By turning
little crank while he is talking the whole
conversation is recorded on the sheet of wax.
which can be slipped off the cylinder,
folded up, put III common en-
velope and mailed to any destination.
When received it will only be necessary to
put the wax tube into similar machine
and it will reproduce the words of the orig
imal speaker as often as may be wished.
The announcement is made that the thin
wax tube for use in the graphophone will
be on sale at all stationery stores at about
the same rate as letter paper, from which it
is inferred that the inventor expects his
machine to be put into general use. If it
proves success, its appearance will vacate
the office OF private secretary and stenogra.
pher, it will abolish the use of the type
writer and will do serious injury " the
pen and ink manufacturing trade. Its pop
ularity is assured for it is easier to talk
than to write.

Disarmed the soldier Boys.

NEW YORK. April 21.-There was
scene of excitement tonight during the
dedication of the new armory of the Twelfth
regiment which was to be reviewed by
Gen. Sherman. The hall was filled
early and it became necessary to
close the doors and station
guard on the outside. In short time
the street was blocked with ladies and gen
tlemen in evening dress and army officers
in full uniform. The young soldiers on
guard got in wrangle with
some of the civilians nearest them,
which resulted in the former coming to
charge bayonets, to a hand to hand stlug-
gle, the disarming of the youths. STAN

A Proposal 10 Secure Nova Scotiass
Admission as One of the United
StaIes.
HALIFAX, n. S., april 21.-Provincial
Secretary Fielding's anti confederation res
olution came up for discussion in the pro-
vincal legislature this evening. Mr.
Fielding reviewed the position of Nova
Scotia since she was against her will made
member of the union, claiming that the
confederation brought bllrdensome evils and
commercial disadvantages on the province.
j. A. Fraser. liberal member for Guys
berry, who charged the government with
neglect of duty in failing to correspond
with the other maritime provinces respect
ing maritime union moved the amend
ment:
That in order that the province may be put
on II sound commercial and financial basis,
the government is hereby recommended to
use every effort within its power and within
the power Of its legislature to bring about
the separation of Nova Scotia rom Canada
Jeffrey McCool Liberal member from
Picto then startled the house with reso-
lation which reads in part as follows:
That this house, in view of what has taken
place, should prepare by legislation to cur
tail its expenses so that they will come within
our revenue. The resolution then details a
system of economy, and concludes thus:
Should these efforts to place the province on
sound financial basis result in failure the
whole matter should be submitted to the peo-
pie, with view 10 obtaining repeal of the
union, and asking the government of the
United States to admit Nova Scotia as a state
OF that union. which is, no doubt, our ulti-
mate commercial destination.
After some further remarks the debate
was adjourned.

| BAR. Their.


A writer in the current number of the
American Magazine urges the Punishment
of the folding chair from the theater and
the public hall. He argues that the fold
ing chair Is a very serious instrument of
dangerin any hall where large audiences
are wont 70 assemble. Folding chairs have
only come into vogue within the last fifteen
years and they became popular in halls of
public amusement because they enable the
manager to get into given space probably
twenty per cent more seats by crowding
them together Their disadvantage is that
unless person is seated on the end of
row he is locked in as securely as though
he were in an English railway car. In case
of panic or fire everybody must get up
deliberately and file out INTO the aiSles in
order to find a way of escape from the
building. Panic-stricken crowds are not
likely to be orderly. and consequently do
not take so much elaboration as is
required to be extricated from a
row of folding chairs. That was illustrated
i'll the case Of the burning of the Brooklyn
theater. The crowd attempted to climb out
over the back of the chairs. Tie moment
person stepped on seat it tipped up and
down he went into trap, ready for the strug-
Cling crowd from behind to crush him to
death. 1t is stated that at the burning of
the Brooklyn theater more than three
fourths of those who persisted lost their
lives on account of those patent chair traps.
In consideration of this danger it is now
urged that the law should require all public
halls and theaters to be furnished with the
circular stationary sofas, such as was in
use twenty-five years ago, so that there
would be nothing to prevent an audience of
any size reaching the doors quickly and
safely by rising up and stepping from seat
to seat over the backs. III this way an i'm
promptu aisle is provided the width of
the whole house.

In the Canadian House of Com mons
over an Antl-COercion ResoIu-
ton.
OTTAWA, Ont, April 21.-The house of
commons galleries were packed to overflow
ing this afternoon when Mr.. Curran, mem
Der for Montreal, rose to move resolution
expressing profound regret at the intro
duction into the imperial house
of commons of the coercion bill, and pro-
testing against its adoption as being sub.
versive OF the rights and liberties of the
queens subjects in Ireland. The resolution
further expressed the hope that there may
speedily be granted to Ireland such meas.
ure of home rule as is enjoyed in Canada.
which, whilst satisfying the national asso-
Citations of the people of Ireland for self
government, shall also be consistent with
the integrity of the empire as whole. His
speech was brief, but to the point. the
main contention being that the
coercion bill would do more
harm than good. Mr.. Mcneil
of North Bruce, moved an amendment to
the effect that the house not having the pa
pers and evidence before it on which an in
telligent opinion of the crimes bill could be
based, it was inexpedient to pass an opn-
ion. MI. Flynn urged the adoption of the
main resolution as an act of Cancellation
to the Irishmen of the United States. and
held that it would be step in the direction
of feeling Of an honorable settlement of
the fishery question. Mr.. O'Brien, an
fisherman, and the member for Muskoka,
made violent attack on the national league
and insisted that Canada would never shape
its legislation in Difference to Irish feeling
in the United States. He promised his
namesake, the editor, that if he came to
Canada he would find men enough here to
teach him that in Canada his traitOrous
doctrines were not going to be listened to.
The dabate was continued till nearly mid
night

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Bailey to be Hsounced--The Order
aud the Catholic Church.

aud the Catholic Church.
PITTsBURG, Pa, April 21.-The Chron-
icle-Telegraph this evening publishes an in
terview with prominent knight of Labor,
in which it is stated that at the coming an
rual meeting of the Miners National assem-
bly, at Cincinnati an effort will be made to
defeat the present district master workman,
w. II. Bailey, of the Knights Of Labor ex-
ecutive board. 1t is claimed that Bailey is
not posted in mining matters, and that the
opposition to him is particularly strong in
Pennsylvania and Ohio. Mr.. Carlton. of
the executive board of the Knights of La
Dor, in an interview to-day regarding the
Catholic church and the Knights of Labor.
said:
am hardly the person to be interviewed
on that subject, as 1 am one of the Protestant
members of the board / must say, however
that it is highly gratifying to the Knights of
Labor to know that the order has received
such favorable consideration from the
church. The decision of the church is due
simply to the efforts of Cardinal Gibbons who
has been untiring in mis- efforts IN behalf of
the knights. If the church had continued to
pursue the same course as in the case with
the Canadian knights, | am not prepared to
say what would have been the result. AS re-
CARDS the abandonment of George, it should
be remembered that his theories do not belong
to the knights of Labor as body. Some of
the members are favorable to them, while
others are not. On such important cues
lions it would be difficult to find even two
men who exactly agree. That is, do not
think that the Henry George theories have
anything to do with the knights of Labor as
an order, though many of its members may
agree with him on some questions.

1T PAYS TO PREACH.

The statement made by clergyman in a
recent presbytery session that the clerical
profession is the most overworked and the
worst paid OF all the professions is not sus-
tanned by the facts The labor required of
a conscientious preacher is hard enough it
is true But there is no profession in
which hard work is not required if success
IS attained. 1t is so in the law, in medi-
cine, in journalism. and. III fact, in every
professional department. There are no
easy places in a successful professional life.
The advantages which the clerical profess
sion, when considered merely as profes
sion. enjoys is in the freedom from the vex-
ations and responsibilities which wear out
so many men in other professions. The
preacher is always sure of his salary. He
doesn't have to work it up. The church
has its financial agents who look after
that part of it. An eminent lawyer
once said: 81 work hard to earn
my living. but 1 have to work
still harder to collect my earnings" The
preacher is free from this additional labor
of collecting his earnings. Then again the
net earnings OF preachers compare favor
ably with those Of lawyers, doctors, Journal
lists and teachers. They get salaris rang
ing from $1,000 to $40, 900 year. That is
a better average than other professions
can show, and a majority of the preachers
could not earn as much in other professions.
There ought to be no complaint then on the
ground that the clerical profession is un-
derpaid. Another thing that should be
borne in mind is that the preachers salary
is rarely, if ever, affected by financial de-
pressions. The preachers enjoy social COLI
ditionS which attach to their profession
that are valuable in that they insure ameni-
ties which not only prolong life but make
life worth living. Then there is the church
pension fund for the benefit of superannu-
ated clergymen, which robs ole age of the ter
rors it brings to men in other professions So
that taking all these things into considera-
ton. clergymen are the last people in the
world to growl about the hardships of their
professional life. There is an air of COM
Portable contentment. and the indication OF
good living about the average preachers
appearance which is seen in no other de-
partment of professional life. As rule,
preachers wear good clothes. have sleek.
well fed look, and often rotundity of face

Club Mans Gossip.

SulCoSO
No better illustration of the homely bu-
kindly character of the big Chicago speco
ulator n. B. Ream, could be made than tie
relate the story of him that is going the
rounds. A year ago st. Paul was tn.
Armour led the crowd at Chicago and west
of here. and Rockefeller was at the
head of the crowd at Cleveland.
Ream was a member of the famous
junketing party that started over
the road with Armour when the stock was
in the COS. He made big winning at that
Jinie. He also went into the stock again
with Nat Jones and others and kept dOub-
ling up until last summer, when the stock
was in the vicinity of par and when every
body expected that it would touch 100. if
for no other reason than to CRAFTY the
pride of some of the directors, Ream had
a good many thousand shares. His profit
had reached over $500 and the
other bulls in the stock in the same office
had decided to realize. The matter was
talked over one afternoon and it was prac-
tically decided to sell. The next morning
the whole load of stocks carried by the
crowd was dumped--eXcept those carried by
Rean. For some reason or other that the
brokers could not guess that tall Spectator

bic custom, before the opening at New York

and by that time the stock market had weak

to wait for harder spot to unload on, and
ordered his ST Paul held. 1t wasn't a
lucky decision. The market had made a
turn for long pull, and it did not go but
in one way-down. When his ST. Paul

was written up and presented. the brokers
who made the trade remarked that there

What the VanderbiIts are Doing.

Clnclnnall enquirer.
A few days ago l was walking in New
York city and l came to rather handsome
building, not very extravagant in its dimen-
sions, on portion of the depot lot of the
New York Central railroad. l inquired
what house they were putting up there and
was told it was the club house for the en-
ployes of the company erected by Cornelius
Vanderbilt. In the same block is the small
stone church where he has public worship
for the railroad employees. MIR. Wander
bits mother was the daughter OF a minister.
This club house is made of white bricks and
the roof is made of terra Gotta tiles, and
most of the ornaments are also of terra
Gotta. Not far off is Cornelius Vanderbilt's
stable-a very ornamental structure-which
has In it the largest terra Gotta pannels |
have ever seen, neade from original designs.
There are three gables in this stable. and
the central one has an enormous mastiff's
head, with huge overhanging ears, executed
in red brick clay. The side pediments have
designs of tigers.
